What we do know, without debate, is that the wars begun eleven years ago have been tremendously painful for millions of people in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan, and the United States, and economically costly as well. Each additional month and year of war will add to that toll. The goal of the Costs of War project has been to outline a broad understanding of the domestic and international costs and consequences of those wars. The Eisenhower Research Project based at Brown University assembled a team that includes economists, anthropologists, political scientists, legal experts, and a physician to do this analysis. We asked:
This is because the representation includes what it should based on my knowledge. The representation talks about key individuals (like Martin Luther king), attitudes, consequences of the protests, Law enforcement, Governments (federal government and president Kennedy), laws and finally different protest like the sit in, March on Washington, Montgomery boycotts and Freedom riders...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Final Project: American History Timeline Your Name here Class Name Here Professor Name here Date Here Introduction Throughout the many changes in American history and differences in economy during times of war and times of rebuilding, there have been several important people and events that have seriously impacted America within these eras. Each road taken throughout history is the direct result of a decision or event that placed the power in their hands. Sometimes these crucial and questioned decisions make up our history and our future as well.

Inner conflicts can repeat itself over and over also and becomes incredibly complicated as one’s thoughts become more twisted. For generations the conflicts from the past have repeated themselves, from riots and wars to genocide and terrorism it is hard to deny that it doesn’t continually recapitulate from century to century.
